This was assault. He should have been criminally prosecuted.
I agree, punishment should be more than a fine, which may or may not ever be collected. Sentencing him to some time in the “gray bar hotel” is the thing that is most likely to change his behavior. They should also publish his name and picture in the media. Public shaming can influence behavior too
I think we start with lifetime bans from flying, most people like this will not bother to contest it, if they do ... off to court you go to explain why you cant drive, or need to fly. It's just not worth it for the rest of us who follow the rules and help pull theses idiots off planes. IF YOU WAANA GO 500 miles an hour, sit down, do what your told, relax and act like a human. Just like preschool
Add to don't fly list for min 10 yrs and paid off fine.. drive or take a bus.
Or Amtrak
Don't misunderstand me - I agree 100% about fining, jailing, banning and executing these idiots. BUT ... why such negativity towards Amtrak and Greyhound? My preferred means of travel are 1) driving ... like 40,000+ miles yearly, 2) flying my Cherokee, 3) Greyhound, 4) Amtrak and finally, definitely last, commercial airlines. Since I retired 17 years ago I've traveled more miles on the "Hound than airlines. NEVER have I run into nasty, rule-violating fellow passengers and you do have to admit ... they are a superior class of people than the typical airline customer. I would walk before I'd ever get on United Airlines again.
a person cant just say "whats wrong with these people" and bush it off anymore..its happening all too frequently..whether its acting like a 4 year old with a temper tanrum, or cursing at flight crews and refusing to wear a mask,its all extremely unruly behavior, and it should be in BOLD FACED PRINT on every airline website or booking site for tickets, as well as having the passenger do an online legal statement saying they understand and will abide by airline rules of passage (as well as just common courtesy and plain sense!)before they can do a seat assignment or print a boarding pass or whatever..those who do not comply or DO act out must be banned from ALL AIRLINES FOR TRAVEL..!
